Baker King Review

When I was seeing the ads about this Korean Series on GMA-7, I wasn't looking forward to watching it. But since we have nothing to watch during that time, we changed the channel and seen this series on its pilot episode from then on we became avid viewers of the show and waited for it every night, even if it is shown very late at night.


It is a series worth the wait, it is unlike any other series I have seen with prolonged twists and turns, it was not like the conventional series you'll see. Even my dad is hooked on the series, my father have not watched any Korean series as he hated them as he view them only sissies would watch. Funny part of it as the lines of the characters touch him as well, he cries when we cry of the episode. It was fun seeing "that" side of my dad. I learned that he may be a man but he has a good heart and that he ain't ashamed to let us see him cry over some series, I learned to appreciate my father more.


It is a beautiful series that a lot of people can appreciate, it is about finding a reason to live for, realizing your dreams and making them happen, fighting to survive, the real face of life, and life's reality.


It is definitely a must watch Korean Series.

Lindsay Lohan MOVED NEXT DOOR TO Samantha Ronson

I have seen Lindsay Lohan blossom into a beautiful american girl from the first time I saw her at a Disney film "The Parent Trap" when she was around 11, having that red hair and freckles all over her face. She was still sweet back those days, but after a series of leading roles in movies like Freaky Friday, Herbie, A Prairie Home Companion, and Mean Girls she grew up leading one heck of a life and lifestyle. 


From singer-model-actress she became a lost girl doing all sorts of nasty things, like being caught a couple of times for DUI and serving times in rehabilitation centers. But the worst of all the issues I have seen would be her dating DJ Samantha Ronson, of all people why a 'her'?


Lindsay is pretty, she somehow has brains (tiny bits) and she is a woman, why the heck choose to date someone of the same specie and claiming she is not lesbian.


Weirder than weird is the fact that after she was out of her recent rehab escapade she moved in to an apartment NEXT TO SAMANTHA RONSON. Honestly?! Sweetheart, there billions of people world wide and you choose to be with 'that' person? Funny part of it she is claiming it was an "accident", which part of accident is that categorized? She must have known where DJ Ronson lived and moved in next door. Goodness, this girl is driving people nuts... if she wanted to be a changed person this is not the way to start it.

Yoon Shi Yoon, Baker King Kim Tak Goo

Basic Information from Wikipedia:
Acting Shows: The Baker King and High Kick Through The Roo
Acting Movie: Death Bell 2
Age: 25
DOB: September 26, 1986
Real Name: Yoon Dong Goo


Yoon Shi Yoon portrayed the adult character of Kim Tak Gu from the popular series Baker King which has become the number Korean Drama series is South Korea. Despite the overwhelming success of the Korean Drama Yoon Shi Yoon stayed humble and kept his feet on the ground.


He swooned the whole Philippines with his boyish good looks and charming smile. He first appeared on the series at episode 7, after 12 years. Yoon Shi Yoon recognize that the popularity he is getting is due to his character Kim Tak Gu and not of his own.


The drama contended with KNG's (Kim Nam Gil) Bad Guy at time slot on its release. Despite the show being graced with rookie main actors and actresses it was able to find its way to the hearts of South Korea's citizen. The show is currently being aired on GMA 7's telebabad after Beauty Queen time slot with ABS-CBN's "KRISTINE" as competitor on the slot.


As Philippines got the right to Baker King the lead stars will probably visit the Country to promote the series as I think it is a standard protocol. =) 


Philippines, ARE YOU READY FOR YOON SHI YOON?!

Team Azkals Update

As the team is getting ready for the AFC Challege Cup they will be taken over by a new more experienced German head coach Hans Michael Weiss in place of Coach Simon McMenemy. In a couple of months of being Azkals team coach, coach McMenemy was able to make a lot of good changes in the national team, he was of great help in the recent excellent performance of the team during the AFF Suzuki Cup tourney.


Also exciting news of Fil-Foreign players wanting to join the team came from Dan Palami himself. But this aspiring Fil-Foreign soccer players who wants to join the team needs to prove themselves first and go for tryouts just the rest of the fil-bred players.


I'm so excited with the progress and popularity our National Team is harboring hope it continues not only in 2011 but for more years!


Go Team Azkals!

The Baker King

I watched GMA-7's pilot episode and it was really good, my mom liked it and we wait for its time slot every night. The new series' pilot episode beat "Kristine" rating in mega manila on its first day according to AGB Nielsin.

We switched to "The Baker King" and ditched "Kristine" as the cast deserves to be ditched, we used to be an avid follower of the show watching episodes on iwantv when we miss it due to gatherings we need to attend to.

Since the time Cristine Reyes showed her real color we stopped supporting "Kristine", and now we are hooked with the new Korean Series in GMA-7.

Tak Gu's character is really interesting and the story plot is definitely a must watch, he was a kid until episode 6 and by episode 7, it has been 12 years after. The young Tak Gu actor deserved the award he received as he is definitely a blossoming young actor with a good future in acting career. We watched the series in DVD, and I was won over by the adult Kim Tak Gu. He grew up to be a gangster beating up gang underlings, and grown up to be one heck of a good looking guy. 

I hated the part Grandma died, I just hated Ma Jun (Matthew in GMA-7’s Baker King) as he is truly evil personified just as his parents. His family (real parents) is scary to death; they’re so evil, poor Tak Gu having nemesis like them, they made his life truly miserable. 

Anyhow, the series has only 30 episodes and so it will probably be over in 3 months.

Sarah Geronimo: "No Comment" Regarding Cristine Reyes Tweets

During Mega Star's birthday celebration concert Sarah was cornered by the press, finally, after a long long time of avoiding the cameras for ambush interviews she was caught on cam. 

She was asked of her reaction to Mega Sharon Cuneta defending her during the Cristine Reyes-Sarah Geronimo rift. She expressed how happy she was hearing how Mega Star Sharon stood for her despite not knowing her entirely.

When she was asked if she would be willing to make peace with Cristine this 2011, she commented about New Year, new things... but when asked regarding Cristine's tweet Sarah opt to shut her mouth about it and smile and wave away from the press, very decent girl. =)

Kristine Hermosa-Oyo Sotto Wedding

Today January 12, 2011 is Oyo Sotto's birthday and wedding day; such a happy day for the Sotto clan and also this year's first celebrity wedding.

Kristine Hermosa and Oyo Boy Sotto got married just this afternoon, sun set wedding in Batangas. It was graced by not more than 200 visitors and guest, attended by their family and friends in show business. Oyo Boy is really one lucky groom this day, he must be super happy, well the couple must be extremely happy as this is the first day for them as a married couple.

Finally, the two tied the knot after being secretive about their wedding date. Hopefully this one will be forever and hope the newly weds will have a good future together as a couple. The first marriage didn't prove to be a good one for Kristine Hermosa. As she has moved on and is officially Mrs. Oyo Boy Sotto I hope all other parties will be able to find happiness as well.

Jennifer Lopez, American Idol Season 10 Judge

Who doesn't know who Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell and host Ryan Seacrest is? They are the original panel of judges for 8 Season of American Idol. However, on the 9th Season Paula Abdul was officially out of the panel and replaced by various artists and Ellen deGeneres temporarily took the emptied spot but for Season 10, two seats was left vacant. Both Simon and Ellen are out of the panel and will be replaced by Latina singer/actress Jennifer Lopez and Aerosmith vocalist Steven Tyler.

Were you excited hearing the new coming panel of judges taking over Ellen and Simon's seat for the famous American Idol show? I sure am excited to be seeing how this season will progress; Jennifer Lopez has 20 years of experience in this field and so Steven Tyler. The show won't be as controversial, brute as it was when Simon Cowell was still gracing the show, as I think both the new judges, are nice people with all nice things to say even if under talentless stressful annoying folks auditioning.

Both are qualified to be judges of the show but I just think they're too nice that the show will be a bit boring hopefully things will turn out better than I'm currently expecting.

Tribute to Justin Bieber Glee Special Episode

When rumors circulated I was wondering why would they pay some tribute to JB, he is not dead yet... Not dying and definitely he hasn't been in the circle of music entertainment for a decade. Usually tribute episodes are given for historical figures, doesn't it? For people like the King of Rock n Roll Elvis, King of Pop Michael Jackson, Madonna etc. No offense meant to the Belieber or Bieber fans out there, I like the kid.

Oh well, Ryan Murphy himself cleared that they are not doing any JB themed episode in Glee this season. They won't be doing such type of episode in Glee Season 3. Although they're not doing a tribute episode, don't fret, on one episode "Sam" (complete with hairdo and style) will sing a JB song to "Quinn".

I guess, it'll be suffice to make the Beliebers happy.

PS: To JB's haters, if you hate the guy that much develop a talent and be successful. Bashing JB on every possible occasion is not helping you be a better person. If you think the kid has no talent then no one is stopping you writing and singing your own songs. When you're twice famous as Bieber, then start talking smart.

Justin Bieber Nail Polish, Anyone?

Knowingly, I'm sure I won't be seeing this nail polish collection in our local stores for one, we are late in trends. 2nd, even if there are hundreds of this item in stock it will sell like hotcakes as it is in the US, as the polish is designed by Bieber himself.


The item has 14 nail polish shades with chic nail polish names such as "Step To The Beat of My Heart, "Me + Blue". Also, JB choose to partner OPI which is a site well known not to test products on animals. 


I will definitely purchase one when it is available in the local stores, hopefully I'll be seeing JB's book in National Bookstore, I'm looking forward for his Fragrance release as well.


Are you going to support Justin Bieber's product line?

Profiler: Azkals Football Player Phil Younghusband

The hot-chick magnet Azkals football player Phil Younghusband is definitely trending hot this year, with his new year resolution of finding a perfect girl to bring to Paris he made all the single ladies gaga over him. 


The football team Azkals went here in Tacloban City, Leyte for a series of sponsored training with Taclobanon Football player residents but, too bad I was too engrossed with school stuff so I wasn't able to be there and be an insider but my hateful friends from UP (near 2 of the football fields in the area is located) were able to grab him and take a few photo. Just too bad none of them were able to captivate Phil's heart, maybe she's too busy reading this article or writing the article. HAHA.


In the meantime, the team is preparing for the upcoming 2011 World Cup qualifier and some AFC Cup tourney this coming February. For girls livings in Bacolod and near Bacolod City, this will be your moment of truth. =) Its your time to shine and captivate the elusive heart of our very own Fil-British Most Wanted Bachelor of 2010-2011.


And, is it me or he has similarities with Taylor Lautner (Twilight's Jacob)?
Originally I wanted to upload some of my friends' photo but... I hate them. T_T Bitter. I know.

Imortal Star—Angel Locsin

Angel Locsin has improved greatly since she moved to ABS-CBN. Her acting became more professional, matured and convincing. She can deliver the performance needed by her characters and roles, Angel’s acting has become smooth and natural.

Take for example the pilot episode of her new series Imortal, an ABS-CBN fantaserye starring John Llyod Cruz and Angel Locsin. The pilot episode of Imortal was amazing, and felt like an International series. It made an impact to the Filipino audience and the show is still running till early 2011. Most shows are short lived but with Imortal it will definitely last for a couple of months more. The people ain’t crazy over the love team or the team-up but the storyline and the smooth delivery and good performance of the actors  make it worth watching.

The story itself is catchy, plus Angel’s acting greatly improved making the series an interesting one and a must watch series every night. Was not a big fan of Angel Locsin before but with the improvement she is showing on her projects she is worth rooting for.

Profiler: Azkals GoalKeeper, Neil Etheridge

In the recently concluded ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) Suzuki Cup tournament that was held in Vietnam, Neil Etheridge became an instant celebrity persona trending in search engines.

He is the first Fil-British player who made it to the English Premier League, and professionally playing for Fulham club (as a reserve goalie) with millions of wooed fans worldwide for his great display of toughness as the Philippine’s goalkeeper and giving Indonesia a hard time to goal during the AFF Suzuki Cup Tournament semi-finals between Philippine Football Team “Azkals” and Indonesia's Football Team.

Neil Etheridge flew back to UK to his team Fulham Club for FA Cup, to play against Posh Team yesterday January 8, 2011. It was just sad to see Neil Etheridge benched in the set of the game since he is just a spare goalie in case their goalkeeper David Stockdale is injured during the game.

Hope to see him in action next game.. =)
